Redeemable
Redeemable
GICs are either redeemable (also known as cashable) or non-redeemable. Non-redeemable GICs are meant to be left untouched throughout the term; in return, they typically offer higher interest rates. If you think you may need access to your money at some point throughout the term, consider a redeemable GIC.

Insurance
Insurance
Depending on how much you're investing, and who your GIC issuer is, your investment may or may not be protected by CDIC insurance. CDIC covers all GICs up to $100,000 or with terms up to 5 years. CDIC does not cover GICs worth more than that, or with longer terms, or any GIC product sold by a credit union.
